Since the dead ball exception only states that a teammate be in kicking position,
I don't believe that you can blow it dead. Read the exceptions to rule 4-2-2 carefully.
As far as I know the scrimmage kick formation only exempts the kicking team from the numbering requirements to have at least five players numbered 50-79 on the line of scrimmage and roughing the snapper... both of those explicitly
mention "scrimmage-kick formation"
This does not alter the other rules pertaining to a scrimmage kick,
dead ball exceptions for holder with knees on ground.
